Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Penetrating biographies written by a group of distinguished travel writers, broadcasters, and historians reveal the lives, motives, and passions of forty major explorers in history. It has always been mankind’s gift, or curse, to be inquisitive, and through the ages people have been driven to explore the limits of the worlds known to them—and beyond. Here are the stories of forty of the world’s greatest explorers from Europe, America, Asia, and Australia. These are men and women who changed our perception of the world through their courageous adventures. Organized thematically, the book opens with the oceanic journeys of five hundred years ago, when the great era of recorded exploration began. The following sections look at The Land, Rivers, Polar Ice, Deserts, Life on Earth, and New Frontiers. Many of these explorers recounted their journeys in vivid firsthand accounts; others were superb artists or photographers. The book features quotes from their journals and reports, and it is illustrated with paintings, photographs, engravings, and maps, so that we can experience their adventures through their own eyes and in their own words. Featured explorers include: Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama, James Cook, Lewis and Clark, Richard Burton, Samuel de Champlain, David Livingstone, Roald Amundsen, Gertrude Bell, Alexander von Humboldt, Yuri Gagarin, and Jacques-Yves Cousteau.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Voyages of the Great Discoverers The volume here presented can lay no claim to originality - the author's object has been to retell in simple and direct style the stories of those early explorers whose deeds have won them an abiding place on the roll of fame. Neither has the subject been treated exhaustively: to have done this would have demanded more space than could be allowed, and although some familiar names may be missing, the author believes that the collection presents a sufficiently comprehensive account of the chief voyages of discovery of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries - those ages of enterprise which still cause us to marvel when we reflect upon the masterful courage and perseverance of the mariners whose work opened up the world to us. The voyages dealt with, and the discoveries chronicled, have in them all the charm and compelling interest of romance. They often read more like scenes from fiction. And, indeed, these voyages are scenes in a drama on the stage of the world's history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: The South Pole is a book by Roald Amundsen and it represents an interesting first-hand account of the Norwegian expedition's successful attempt to reach the South Pole in 1911. Amundsen spends a great deal of time talking about logistics and placing of depots in preparation for his polar attempt all the way from the preparation leading up to the initial sea voyage, the voyage itself and then the establishing of a camp at the Antarctic. Although they were lucky with the weather, and Amundsen attributed the success of the expedition to "good luck", it is obvious that the Norwegian expedition was well prepared and ready for the troubles ahead; the equipment, the sledges with well-trained dogs, the supply depots with seal meat at regular intervals along the route, the sunglasses to avoid snow blindness; it was all thought of in advance.
